I hope you will read the docs and send me your comments so I can improve the online help. And I can accept criticism, don't worry. I think criticism can be constructive and help in improving this 'product' (even though I hate the word). so, in short, do you think the openvpn docs are incomplete ? Simply tell me your feeling about it and I'll try to improve it. sincerely, -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/
